A Dark Romance Novella of Forbidden Obsession and Dangerous Pacts.
Rhea made a mistake. A fatal one.
She witnessed a crime that exposed the ruthless heart of Caius, a man whose name is whispered in fear, a crime lord who deals in secrets, death, and absolute power. In his world, witnesses don't survive.
But Caius doesn't kill her. He takes her.
Held captive within the secluded, fortress-like walls of his estate, Rhea is offered a dangerous pact: her silence, her obedience, and her surrender in exchange for the one thing she values above her freedom: the safety of her estranged younger sister.
She is now a gilded prisoner, bound by a debt she never agreed to pay, forced to navigate the morally ambiguous landscape of Caius's dark empire.
Caius is a predator. A man of calculated, cold control. He chose Rhea not for love, but for leverage. Yet, the icy control he wields over his world and her begins to fracture under the heat of a possessive, intense obsession. Rhea's defiant spirit, her refusal to break, calls to the darkness inside him, turning a matter of self-preservation into a relentless, forbidden hunger.
Rhea came here to save her sister. She might leave having lost her soul.
He demands her silence. He'll settle for her submission. But he will claim her surrender.
